Bulk email/mail: multiple emails
- 6 years ago
yosemite , thanks for linking to my solution from last year. I uploaded your PBIX file to the Power BI Service without making any changes, and your "Email All" button worked well. The measure you created is correct. I think the limitation you're seeing is just related to Power BI Desktop.
HI yosemite,
I think this should more relate to the power bi desktop itself. (I copied the string that generated from the DAX formula)
If I create a hyperlink in other applications, it works to open the mail application with pasted these concatenated accounts in 'To' box.
Regards,
Xiaoxin Sheng

Hello Anonymous ,
This formula for single email works to open the mail application:
Email Link = CONCATENATE("mailto:" ,Table[Email])
But this formula for multiple email doesn't open the mail application even if it is categorized as a Web URL in Power BI desktop:
Email All = "mailto:" & CONCATENATEX(VALUES ('Table'[Email]), 'Table'[Email], "; ")
Do you mind updating the PBIX I posted to show how you made it work? Thanks for your help.

it works also in desktop.
just use following DAX
Email All = "mailto:?to=" & CONCATENATEX(VALUES ('Table'[Email]), 'Table'[Email], "; ")

Hello, do you have a solution for when the mailto charater limit go over 2000

Right click the email icon and copy-paste the mailto: link into your email to/cc/bcc field. Works all the same as clicking and generating the link to a list under 2000 characters
